Shreyas Iyer’s Batting Woes Continue in Duleep Trophy Semifinal

The Duleep Trophy 2025 semifinal saw Shreyas Iyer struggle with his batting, further complicating his bid to return to the Indian Test team. Iyer, who was selected to captain India A against Australia A, played for West Zone. His performance was disappointing as he scored only 12 runs from 14 balls in the second innings and 25 runs in the first innings. Despite a strong century by Ruturaj Gaikwad in the first innings, and a half-century by Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second, West Zone’s batting lineup was unable to secure a victory. Central Zone dominated the match and advanced to the final, where they are set to play against South Zone.
